Making the Perfect Cup of Coffee
- November 8th, 2008
Making the perfect cup of coffee is not a skill, its and art form. I just wish I knew how to do it. Every time that I go to my uncle’s house, he always has a pot of delicious smelling coffee on. I don’t know how he does it. Does coffee just taste better at his house? Maybe its something in the water that makes it so good. What ever it is, he makes a perfect cup every singe time. I asked him how he did it and was surprised by the answer. He said that he does absolutely nothing special at all. The only thing that he does different is rinsed off the filter before putting it in the coffee maker. Doing this will rinse off the paper and cardboard taste. He does use a French vanilla flavored coffee, maybe that the special trick. He uses better coffee. It makes sense that if you use better coffee, a better cup is what you will get. When I go to his house, we usually go through an entire pot of coffee while playing checkers and chatting about the news. He has great coffee cups. They are from the fifty’s and forties, when they made the cups out of thick heavy glass. The big old cups seem the hold in the flavor and heat better.Aswe drink our coffee we check out how the garden is doing and chat about the little animals that always come and visit him in his yard. He has the best garden. I was wondering how all his plants and vegetable look so nice and healthy. He said this is because he feed the plants coffee grounds. When he is done with apot of coffee, he puts the used grounds in a special bag. Every couple of days he takes the bag outside and spreads the grounds around his garden. I don’t know what it isabout the coffee, but for some reason it helps the plants look amazing. I guesshis coffee is magical.
